Welcome to episode 1,848 of the Daily Meditation Podcast.

I'm Mary Meckley and I honor you for being right where you are as you get ready to meditate. You might be seated in

your meditation space or you might be listening for today's meditation

technique. I share a different technique in every single episode here on the podcast.

And you might want to do that technique as you go about your day.

It's all good.

However you use these techniques will help you experience a little more peace, energy, and clarity throughout your day. We continue along with our theme this week. We explore a theme each week

for an entire week's series.

Throughout that series,

as I mentioned, you explore

a different meditation technique

that is customized for each week's theme.

Our theme this week is a very important one and that is stress relief in regard to relationships.

Relationships cause the most stress. In fact, there's research to show that stress in your relationships can be harmful to your health. In today's episode I'll share with you a

meditation technique you can do today to help you be together in a different way when you are with someone who causes you stress. This might be stress in an intimate

relationship with a loved one, a family member, a spouse, even a sibling.

It could be a good friend or neighbor, a colleague at work, you can learn to show up differently when you are with this person.

Chances are that when you are with this person who causes you stress and at the beginning of

this series I had recommended that you focus on one particular relationship this whole week that

causes you stress and help you unravel it and maybe lay to rest some of the stress you experience in this relationship

as you do the techniques and go through this week's series. If you're just joining us, maybe think about a relationship

that you wish was better, especially if this relationship causes you a great deal of stress.
